sistant in Plymouth church, has been
associated with Lyman Abbott, D. D.,
in the preparation of the biography of
the late Mr.. Beeoher, to which the great
preacher, previous to his death, large
ly contributed. 1t was not proposed
to have either Mr.. Halliday's or Mr..
Beecher's connection with the book
generally known, but the death of Mr..
Beecher has removed the objection to
the fact being made public, and now
the complete book will appear with
both DR.. Lyman Abbott's and Rev. S.
B. Halliday's name on the title page.
They have also been assisted by corps
of over thirty eminent writers, Leon
ard Bacon, D. D., j. G.. Whittier and
others, who have contributed reminis-
cences, etc. AS Mr.. Beecher did not
write line upon any biography of
himself, but did contribute to this
work, the additional fact is apparent
that DR.. Abbott's and Rev. Halfidav's
book is the nearest approach to an au-
autobiography that Mr.. Beecher has
left, and with the array of talent en-
ployed it looks as if we were to have a
biography which is worthy of the man.
The work is sold by subscription;
Messrs. Winter & Co., of Springfield,
Mass, are engaged in its sale. Their
appears in another col
umn.

The PrOhibitiOnists.

There will be Mass Prohibition Con.
ference at Minneapolis on the 21st INST,
and delegated State Convention on the
22d. The object of these gatherings is to
create sentiment, adopt plans suited to
the growing demands of the movement
and open the campaign of 1883.
Prof. A. A. Hopkins, Rev. G. II. Mead
and the celebrated Silver Lake Quartette,
all of New York, and we'll known to all
Prohibitlonists. will be present. The fact
that they make the entire trip solely to
meet this engagement indicates the value
which Prohibitlonists in this section put
upon their services. Mass meetings will
be held on the evenings of the Goth, 2lst
and 22d inst.
More county conventions for the elec-
ton of delegates have been held than in
any previous year. A large number of
Woman's Christian Temperance Unions
have accepted the invitations extended
by the call to send delegates. 1t is ex-
pected that many Prohibitionists, not
delegates, will take advantage OF the
rates offered by the railroad companies to
attend these gatherings.
Persons paying full fare over the Mani
toba, Northern Pacific aud Minneapolis
& Pacific railroads. and taking receipt
therefor, will be returned at one fifth fare.
All other roads in the State will return at
one. third fare on the same conditions.

The Modern Wuman's Carrying Capacity.
A fashion writer-heaven DO praised, a
wonan-makes some startling revelations
concerning women's gear in this quarter
OF the nineteenth century. II what this
writers tells be true, We must revise our
estimates OF the fair sex Of this generation
and conclude that it is not so physically
degenerate as rs We have been lead TO
suppose; but that the mex! generation is
going to have hard time Of it.
Who woulI suspect tha. weak woman,
or Tor that matter man not used TO earn
ing his living by saving wood or slugging,
could skip gaily along under eighty
pounds Of sail? Even this is eaid OF ctr
American women OF fashion. S!yangest of
all, tho weight is to he found largely in
the characterization. For example, bon
net fashionab!y loaded with Jet will turn
the ecsles at four pounds; the wrap will
90 thirty, sometimes forty, and the gown
has been known to "kiCk the beam" at
forty.fve.
II women can Etaud this who vii! deny
them the right to WORK for living, stand
up In the street cars and expreea their
sentiments at the polln?

Tho Public's Obedirnt Servant Who scalps
The railroad companies are getting
along remarkably well with the read
justment Of their freight tariffs under the
Interstate Commerce act, but passsnge,
rates give them trouble. All the roads
have prolessed a desire to wipe out the
ticketscslper as disorganizer Of business.
Thegreat trunk lines have quickly seized
on the new law TO shut down on tho prac-
tee OF allowing commissions, under the
cover OF which rate.cuttirg WAS so easy
that it could not be stopped.
But thus ia, the Western roads and
some oil the smaller ones in the East
have refused to come into the agreement.
This refusal on the part OF any road shows
that it has never been sincere in its pro-
fesaes desire to 60 away with the sealper,
who has in fact become an important and
essential factor in the bushes OF many
roads.
The trunk lines cannot force the others
to come into the agreement, bu: how are
they going to evGde the law without
being caught and punished? This is the
serious question, and il the Inv bo en-
forced the acalper's occupation is gone.
He seems to have some encouraging in

great confidence in his luck. Whenever

lieve that this particular prohibition will
